Since Reithoffer lost York a few years ago, it appears that their presence at Bloomsburg is dwindling. There was a lot of rides booked in from other shows. I see stuff in these pictures and others that I saw of equipment from Penn Valley Shows, SwikaS, and Bartlebaugh. There may even be others. It seams like the midway is very light on rides. There used to be a lot more. Also, Reithoffer had to pull the wild claw out since it failed inspection because of the issues with the KMG rides. I always thought Bloomsburg wasn't good for them and that appears to be the truth. How much longer will they hold the contract?

So what other major fair had a Garbrick Spindle on the midway? I don't see many of these around.

They've held the spot for decades. It was never a big spot for the carnival. Big attendance... and ALOT of repeat customers...but the show is all the way in the back , and quite frankly...never had the space to really look that good. They signed the Lubbock TX spot on the same week on the way back from New Mexico. I would bet they are looking at more spots out that way and would not be heartbroken to loose Bloomsburg.

They were "light" on the rides at the Upper SC State Fair this year as well. There was a lot of dead space between rides, and kiddie rides put way out in areas normally that had big rides or joints, not very many joints either.
